On the 27th of August, a major anti-Fascist mobilization in Berkeley, CA succeeded in stopping a planned "America First" alt-right/Nazi rally by occupying the intended site of the racist event. DC activists responding to a national call for solidarity protests held a speak-out at the Albert Pike (Confederate/KKK) next to MPD headquarters.
In Berkeley, only about 100 Nazis or Trumpers showed up after
"alt-right" organizers claimed to have cancelled permitted rallies in
both Berkeley and San Francisco. This "remnant" turnout was far short of
the thousand or so fascist thugs that showed their ugly faces in
Charlottesville. They found themselves facing thousands of
counterprotesters. As in Charlottesville, the Nazis lost the site of
their planned rally, but this time they lost it directly to
counterprotesters.
